Totally wrong, as usual. You have to throw out large parts of the Bible to come up with an excuse to turn our backs on Israel. Also, love the arguments that because Israel didn't have a homeland for nearly 1,900 years that somehow that nullifies the argument that they are God's chosen people. If anything, it's further proof that they are.

Israel has been punished by God before. They were slaves in Egypt, carried away to Babylon, conquered by Rome, murdered in Germany, and every time they've come back. If you don't see God's hand in that then you're being willfully ignorant.

quote:

Paul wrote those words at a time when the vast majority of Christians still worshipped as Jews.

They prayed and taught in the Synagogues and aligned almost 100% with the Jewish faith and traditions.

Absolutely not. In fact, the very first council of the church elders was over a dispute between Jewish(race) Christians and Gentile Christians, you can find it in Acts 15. Paul and Barnabas were having great revivals all over, only to discover that certain Jewish Christians were going behind them trying to make the new converts follow the law of Moses. So they all go back to Jerusalem to hash it out, Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and James all speak and at the end, they decide that the ceremonial laws of Moses have no place.

The idea that there wasn't a separation until the destruction of the temple is absurd. These people were having church in their houses, by rivers, in secret places. There was a clear distinction.

That's a great video, and historically accurate



the one minor disagreement I possibly have is that I believe Trump bombed an ISIS camp in northern Syria, not an official Syrian govt base - ISIS being an enemy trespasser in the region

I could be wrong

Any clue as to the vote numbers when the U.N............the U.N. not U.S. voted Israel into existence? But, geeze, all the typical anti-Jew phrases....which Goebbels used to perfection....keep popping up here. But "killed Jesus" is the personification of hate for the Jews. To repeat myself, won't any country in the Middle East take in any of the Palestinians? Egypt just this week deported pro-Palestinian protestors.

There’s no hope for some of you. If you are a Christian and think this , I suggest you read your Bible.

So an infinite being that created an infinite universe, with infinite worlds and surely infinite types of beings has a chosen people?

Maybe they are chosen because like all chosen people, they wrote the book.

Romans 11:1 "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin."

Paul didn't believe God had replaced Israel with the church, and he was the Apostle to the Gentiles.

quote:

Revelation 7:4 "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."

Show me where the church is ever split into twelve tribes? This is at the very end of the world. God will preserve the nation of Israel to the very end, because He promised He would, and He never breaks His promises.

Genesis 12:3: "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you".
nd I will curse him who curses you". This promise, made to Abraham
Numbers 24:9 echoes this sentiment: "Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, and whoever curses Israel will be cursed". T

Jesus cursed the fig tree, which represented unbelieving Israel, who had the appearance of godliness but no fruit of it.

In Romans 9-11, Paul speaks of Israel of God’s covenantal people being branches cut off from the tree of life so that the engrafting of the Gentiles would cause them to repent and turn to Christ.

The remnant of Israel remains, but as Paul says, not all who are Israel are so by blood, but by faith. Only those who believe the promises of God by faith are partakers of the covenant promises of everlasting life in Christ.

No one should be “cursing” Israel but God, because that is His prerogative to do so, but we are not to view unbelieving Jews as our spiritual brothers. There is but one body of Jesus Christ, and that is His Church, comprised of Jew and Gentle who trust in Jesus for their salvation. Anyone who rejects Christ as the Messiah, whether Jew or Gentle, will receive their just punishment in Hell.

We should pray for the salvation of all, including the Jews, but they are not our brothers if they reject our Lord.

and...at the 12 minute mark...it would be better for America to "do it for them" in regards to attacking Iran, because it would be better for Iran to retaliate against American citizens instead of Israeli citizens



...this was the opinion of "American" network news

Yet nowhere in your quote is "Jews"

Also, nowhere in your second quote is the word "Jews".

You would really like to spit on the "so called Christians" then, as is your custom? sure seems like it, you mental midget
a good thing you tucked tail and disappeared from our little conversation


Still name calling is all you got. And apparently, unlike you I have a life off the internet.

And no I dont spit on Christians at all. I have a problem with hate filled hypocrites. Those that That claim to be Christians but are full of hate. 1 John Chapter 4 Talks all about this. Specifically vs 19-21

Vs 19: If someone says, 'I love God,' and yet he hates his brother or sister, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother and sister whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.


Please comment I can already see your angry rebuttle.

So again, for the Nth time, you refuse to acknowledge that many practicing Christians are actually Palestinians...


So you're basking in lies, and you love basking in lies

Please do tell, what "Christianity" are you representing on this board. Please tell us who is teaching your truth ? BTW 2000 years ago, Jesus was just a year and a half into his ministry and not a single book of the NT bible had yet to be written and wouldn't be for another 40 years.
